I wish to welcome you to all this gathering convened by the Alliance of Registered Political Parties (ARPP) comprising nine registered political parties namely APP, ADP, APM, NRM, YPP, NNPP, ZLP, SDP and PRP to formally declare our support for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for another term of office.
ARPP is a group of nine committed and patriotic registered political parties in Lagos state that is interested in the good works of the state government under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and desire continuity and realisation of the dream Lagos of this administration.
We reached this decision sequence to our thorough analysis of all the good works and rapid development in Lagos.
We cannot sacrifice the various landmark achievements of the present administration scattered the state on the altar of the bitter politicking.
The governor’s consistency as a progressive democrat is worthy of commendation and continuity.
He has delivered on his social contract to the good people of Lagos state.
It makes a whole lot of sense for Lagos State to be in tune with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s presidency at a time like this to achieve our age long desires and lofty aspirations.
From this end, the governorship candidates of the Alliance namely governorship candidate of YPP, Comrade Ajayi Adebayo, Chief Adeyemi Abiola (APP), Adenipekun Adekunle (ZLP), Kupoluyi Funmi, (APM), Ishola Bamidele, (ADP), are stepping down their governorship ambitions to declare their support for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
This support is borne out of love and desire for a greater Lagos which BOS has set the pace and serve to drive it to fruition.
We however wish to seize this opportunity to inform and urge all our supporters across Lagos State to vote massively on Saturday, March 11 for Babajide Sanwo-Olu as governor and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat for second term.”
Also speaking at the official endorsement, ZLP Lagos state chairman, Adekunle Adenipekun said the endorsement became necessary to continuity and greater Lagos.
